Did you get any errors during the script ? I personally got 1 where it told me it wasn't able to compile the new mach kernel. That would have lead to the system not booting up because it renames the old mach_kernel to mach_kernel.old and if it doesn't transfer the new compiled kernel to / the system won't boot anymore. Try reinstall Darwin 8.0.1 and execute the script afterwards... notice any errors and mke sure that your kernel is in place after. You can always check the system version by typing uname -r.

The script is not failproof but it works great if everything is in order.

You don't need to upgrade to 8.1 anymore as all the other files have been released which contain the 8.1 kernel and all that jazz.

I'm confused DeathChill. What contains all the other files? Are you referring to the 8.1 source code?Pardon me if I'm a little slow. I just finished installing Darwin 8.0.1 and succesfully upgraded to 8.1. I was just wondering if there was another way to install 8.1 directly in case the system does not boot after I make all the "other" changes necessary.

BTW: This is my first post. I have been lurking for a little bit reading all the posts.
